I would think TTN to any Florida markets would do well. You have a lot of military families in around TTN with Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. Staten Island, NY has has a Navy Facility amongst others installations in and around the greater NYC and Philly areas. Out west I'm told there is a significant military population around the greater DEN/COS catchment area. I've been told the area is in a top five list of military installations retirees select as their final home of selection for the perks after they exit the service. Looking at the ad Branson appears to be another popular market.

Unlike official government travel this travel service is for leisure and available to families and military retirees who are authorized to shop the military Exchange system. Dependents (the brood) are generally authorized through age 21 or 24 if enrolled as a full time college student.

In the MCO area the military has the Shades of the Green hotel which is best understood as a members only recreation facility for all facets of the military family.

I would wonder if there is any way that F9 could do route (well... they probably could get a plane to run FNL-LAS and back twice a week) with the end result of having some plus $$$$$ in the F9 coffer from doing this?

persuaded my dad to book GSO-DEN in June ... got a great rate even after upgrading to 'Classic' and Stretch seating, although he opted for DL on return as it was $150 cheaper ... F9 was asking $289 oneway (and online seat map the flight was over 3/4 full) ... ill take that as a good sign and am hoping the GSO-DEN flight does well enough to go daily

So basically, it looks like F9 is going to be SOLD rather than be spun off....... the big question now...... who's going to be the buyer? And if I heard correctly, they were supposed to make that decision by the end of March (now 1 day away)

Looks like F9 extended their schedule to 11/13/13. A couple items of note:

DEN-EUG/TYS operates through 10/24DEN-GSO goes through 9/8DEN-MDT stays at 4x weekly through the remainder of the schedule.

DEN-GRR ends September 7. It looks like yet another route where the economics of 3 airlines on it just doesn't work. I have to wonder though, if I'm WN why not just keep adding more F9 DEN destinations like LIT, ORF, and DSM? Based on DAY, CAK, , SDF and now GRR it seems clear that F9 either can't compete with them or chooses to walk away from the competition. Either way it's a win if you're WN.

All of the TTN flying (including MSY) resumes the last week the schedule is open (11/8-11/13)

Only other item I noticed was AZA no longer says 'operates seasonally until April 7'. Instead it now says 'discontinued after April 7'. The reverse is true for ZIH. So maybe at this point, they plan on returning to ZIH next winter.

At least SBN-DEN will never be touched by WN. Frontiers loads have been hit or miss but are picking back up again. December of last year was F9's best month so far on the route and then it dropped off after the holidays but average load factors are now back up to 82% and that is actually better that WN's average company load factor so I hope F9 stays.

Looking through the new schedule, I can't find any E190 flights after 9/8 with the exception of DCA-OMA/MSN/MCI. Those 3 cities to DEN though have all flights on 319s so I'm curious what the plan is for the E190s. I wonder if those 3 Republic slots can't be physically operated by frontier or what? With the last A318 flight scheduled for 8/9 as well, it looks like F9 will finally be down to just 319/320 flights (at least at DEN)

With the merger of US and AA, it is likely that there will have to be the release of some DCA slots, any routes that F9 could possibly apply for and make money off of, hopefully outside of the general DEN area so as to operate when DEN cannot?

Quoting jerseyguy (Reply 11):With the merger of US and AA, it is likely that there will have to be the release of some DCA slots, any routes that F9 could possibly apply for and make money off of, hopefully outside of the general DEN area so as to operate when DEN cannot?

They haven't been too successful with that. They weren't able to get COS-DCA, and then proceeded to can all of the flights from there (I'm sure their history of short lived routes doesn't help). Then I think they applied for SDF-DCA or something like that, even though they weren't even using all theirs slots in the first place?

Will you watch the Cleveland Browns and the Detroit Lions on Sunday? Only if coach Eric Mangini resigned after a loss.

For those who may be contemplating a trip to/from Alaska I saw some really decent prices from ANC to fifty destinations in the lower 48 in the $89 fare special which are valid across the Summer through September 8th LAS-ANC for $173 each way. FLL-ANC for $240.00 each way.

We can only hope the Pacific Northwest will be able to participate on F9 at some point in the not to distant future without having to fly back to DEN. It might be time to look at BLI-ANC seasonally.

I guess this thread is the place for this, forgive me if I am wrong, anyway, do you know what happened to the TPA to OMA, DSM, and MKE? They were running seasonally in winter 2011, and then it seemed as if just dropped off. Does it still run, and if so, when?

with all this TTN, ILG, ORH, TOL, etc talk i cant help but wonder why GSO isnt more on F9's radar ... being midway between CLT & RDU (and ROA, HKY, Boone, etc) i would think that F9 would do well from here to MDW, IAH, TTN, etc ...WN obviously has no intentions of serving GSO (even though its the 3rd or 4th largest metro without WN service) ... wondering if maybe the limited (3X weekly service) is a turn off to the business travelers in the Triad region ... imo GSO is a great regional airport with cheap parking, short TSA lines, and is central to a large population ... fwiw i did see a huge billboard touting Frontier to DEN on on NC68 yesterday as well as adverts for the same service on the front page of the News & Record ... and btw i still dont get not opening TTN-GSO instead of TTN-RDU just my

There is a spring snow storm going on in Denver today. Frontier flights are being impacted by low visibility and ATC spacing. However, there are few, if any, cancellations so far. United has cancelled a number of flights as of mid-morning.

When this service inaugurates all fifty states will have regularly scheduled airline passenger service. In the trivia department Delaware was the only state that did not.

I suppose the credit card companies who have their HQ in Delaware would use the service. This route seems awful drivable though. My early thoughts are the new ILG service needs to be connected to the banking center in and around CLT to work

Man can be taken from Alaska. Alaska can never be taken from the man.
